Thar ritual goes back at least to the 1800's, maybe before, it was common in the American frontier. Buckets of water was heated in or near a fire and poured into an oversized wooden tub for bathing. Mother, Father, children, all in turn, all in the same water. The used soapy water was not wasted, then came the enemas with a rubber colon tube and a funnel. Good fresh water was scarce in many areas so it was not used for enemas. This started to change in the early 1900's. I know growing up in the 1940's - 50's in the south, beans were about 50% of the diet, and that causes...well you know. Most families didn't want to be embarressed with one of them breaking loose with a "bench-ratteler" when the Minister said "Let us Pray".
